To Comm Pension Sir
Please re-examine the Claim of Jacob Goodman for Bounty Land under act 3 rd March, No 133, 055-
He was a soldier of the Revolution
His claim was suspended on account of want of "second evidence" of service which I presume is now unnecessary under the recent act of Congress
He is on the Pension List
